Chapter 166 - Stolen

CHAPTER 166
"Mr Kang was angry about the whole thing and thinks we are not trustworthy in our coming. He is pulling out," Ye Cheng informed her.
"No, he can't. We are all in this mess. It could be someone from his company as well. We cannot rule that option out."
"We have a spy in our midst then," Yi Wang Lei suggested.
"So it would seem." Ye Cheng finally sat down on his seat and gestured for them to as well. If they were going to figure this out, they needed to be calm and think everything through.
"No, we all do have a spy in our midst. Can we go over all the camera footages?" Li Jing asked, directing her question over to Yi Wang Lei.
"It would take time, Li Jing. But if we have a time frame, then perhaps we can narrow it down.
"Good then. Starting from the day Ye Cheng fixed the meeting with Mr Kang."
"That can work, what day was that?"
They spent their time coming to a consensus about the whole thing and not to let anyone else know about what was going on.
"Can I get an answer before the end of today?" Li Jing asked.
"Yes."
"Good. Then let us rule out our options of those who want this company's downfall and can get this stolen," Ye Cheng quickly added.
"Okay, Bai Qing Mei and Hao Huizhong."
"Okay, but what about Li Xiu?" Yi Wang Lei asked.
"Li Xiu? What has she got to do with anything?"
"You still haven't told her?" Yi Wang Lei turned his head away from Li Jing to look at his friend.
"No." Ye Cheng answered blankly.
"Tell me what? What don't I know?" Ye Cheng did not want to reply to her question but following the glare she gave him, he resigned his thoughts and told her.
"Your sister, Li Xiu was the one who sent the Hong Haoran to drug you and have his way with you."
"Excuse me?"
"I am sorry but he was well interrogated and his answer remained the same. Li Xiu sent him."
Her eyes seemed to have disappeared into their sockets at that moment. Never would she have imagined that such a thing would happen to her.
She knew Li Xiu was crazy and stupid but never did she imagine that her wickedness would get to that extent.
"I am sorry," Ye Cheng apologized again. He knew this was probably just too hard for her to bear with.
"I'm fine." Her lips said one thing but her facial expression said another. Slowly Li Jing relaxed in her chair before allowing her eyes to drop close.
"Li Jing."
"Please give me a moment to process everything, Jack. I would be better once I am more relaxed."
She herself did not know why she was allowing herself get disturbed by this but perhaps that was because she thought Bai Qing Mei was behind it all and now it turned out that her sister was.
Two minutes passed and she had managed to calm herself. All she did was to remind herself that it was Li Xiu and Ding Jiaying. With them, anything was possible.
"Okay, count Li Xiu in, she is a suspect. If she can do that to me, then she had a goal and it was not to soil my name obviously."
"Very well," Yi Wang Lei replied her and added Li Xiu's name to the small list of suspects he had.
All the while when she decided to clear her head, Ye Cheng did not say anything further but instead he kept his eyes on her.
She sure had suffered so much in the hands of her sister, it would seem.
It was as though crossing and annoying him did not give herself and Duan nTian the warning due to them. He needed to teach her a good lesson.

Meanwhile, as Li Jing, Ye Cheng and Yi Wang lei tried to fix the mess they were in, Duan Tian went over to Li Xiu's house to take her over to his house for ta weekend celebration.
Ding!
The doorbell rang and a maid came to answer the door. Seeing who it was, she bowed her head and greeted him then allowed him in.
"Where is my fiancé?"
"The first young miss is in her room currently."
"Okay. Thanks."
"I would go and inform her that you are around," the maid chipped in politely.
"You do not have to. I would go and surprise her myself."
"Okay, sir."
Making his way up the stairs, Duan Tian wore his best smile and walked to her room. He had good news and he was going to tell it to her face to face and give her a nice weekend treat. Although the treat was to favour him than Li Xiu, he still felt confident nonetheless.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in," Li Xiu's voice echoed from inside the room.
The door pushed open and he entered but she did not bother to look at who it was. Left to her it was one of her maids.
"Umm, get ready and take my bag downstairs. My fiancé is coming to pick me up." She gave her order while filing her nails, so she did not notice when Duan Tian made his way to her back and jumped on top of her.
"Ahhh!!"
She screamed out of fright that it was some bad person that had pounced on her but by the time she heard him laugh, her heart beat started calming down.
"Hahhaa, nhoney relax it is me."
"Duan Tian?"
"Of course. Who else has the right to pounce on you like that if not me?"
"You scared me."
"I know but your backside was so tantalizing, I could not control the urge to jump on you so I can do this."
As he spoke, he began to move the lower part of his body, grinding his hips into her ass. Li Xiu could feel something hard and strong poke at her ass and that only made her blush.
"Mmmhh, aahh~"
"Yes, baby. You feel it?"
